Father seeks restraining order against son’s bully

The father of a fourth-grader who says his son is being harassed at a Fairfield school has taken the unusual step of asking a judge for a restraining order against the alleged 9-year-old perpetrator.

Stephen Feudner told television station Fox40 in Sacramento that administrators at Rolling Hills Elementary School have not taken measures to prevent his son from being physically assaulted. He said the school has ignored his concerns for five months.

While restraining orders are common, the age of the alleged assailant in this case is anything but.

The accused boy’s name is not listed on the court filings, though, and school officials told Fox40 that they won’t release his identity due to his age. The lack of an identity could make it impossible for the courts to proceed with Feudner’s request.

It wasn’t immediately clear why the boy’s identity isn’t known to Feudner, and efforts to reach him Monday have been unsuccessful.

Feudner filed for the restraining order March 19, court records show, and a Solano County judge is scheduled to decide whether to grant it April 2.

“He’s attacked my son and other children,” Feudner said. “I am trying to protect them from future attacks by this young man.”
